We are so pleased to announce that DFB has signed a first-look deal with super fabulous children's publisher, Scholastic.

Scholastic approached us to create this brilliant new partnership a short 4 months after going independent. Books acquired will be published under the David Fickling Books imprint by Scholastic Trade.

SO.... We retain our independence while accessing Scholastic's sales and marketing resources and its unrivalled distribution through schools, libraries and trade across the US.

Ellie Berger, President of Trade Publishing at Scholastic, said: "We believe that Scholastic's unique position as both a publisher and distributor will provide the perfect vehicle for much of DFB's new and innovative publishing. We will publish each book we acquire with passion and care, as we know that David would expect nothing less."

Exciting stuff!
